Club Hopping
Nothing Boring About Board Games
By Olivia Pape (’19)
Since it began in fall 2021 after the pandemic, the Fresno State Bulldog Board Games Club is a space for people to socialize in a low-stress environment through the medium of board games. Students of any major who share a love for drawing cards, sinking battleships or rolling dice are welcome to play their hand at a wide selection of games. Even after graduating, some members of the club maintain their friendships through the club’s Discord channel and continue to participate in the meetings.
In addition to meeting on Fridays, the club hosts a variety of gaming tournaments, not limited to board games. From Magic the Gathering to Super Smash Bros., the club offers a wide variety of games where there’s an option for anyone.
“Sometimes we’re playing games, sometimes we’re not,” says club president Tyler Boyd. “Sometimes we’ll set out a game and not even really play it. We’ll just be going one turn every 10 minutes because we’re just chatting.”
